The PC version of EA's Mirror's Edge has been delayed apparently, though console versions are still on track.

I call bull.
A lot of PC versions come later for the simple reason that they would rather you bought the console version. They make more money that way from the people (like myself) who own a PC and a console.

as long as it is released as a full game and not a bug ridden mess im fine with pushed back releases

Amon · 19th Sep 2008, 11:56

Same. I'm in no hurry to play it, but I'm suspecting this strategy is used to reduce the impact of piracy.

Krikkit · 19th Sep 2008, 11:58

Noes!!

Looks like I'll have to pick this up in the new year then, sounds like it won't be out for Xmas at this rate...

Indefinitely??? As in 'forever', as in its never coming out? You don't mean that Joe do you?

Im thinking this is a piracy thing, the game has enough hype to sell bucket loads inspite of this so they would rather force people to buy it on console instead of being able to get their mirrors edge fix on a torrented PC version.

DougEdey · 19th Sep 2008, 12:43

What do you mean by pre-orders starting on the 26th? People will get them shipped next friday?

Lepermessiah · 19th Sep 2008, 12:54

typical move to try and force people to buy the console version, I hate consoels and everything stand for, people getting suckered by the corporations. Pc version will be the same, scaled back graphics, complexity and scale just because they have to make the console versions and PC the same, not fair.

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

so we're guessing it'll hit the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 360 at the same time.

Did I miss something?? When did sony bring out a new console called the Playstation 360

Did MS and Sony join forces while i was sleeping

From Wikictionary:

Adverb
indefinitely

For the time being
For a long time, no end defined
Forever

Ok now I'm confused, how can one word mean "for the time being" and mean "forever"? I always read it as "without limits", i.e. infinite, but I guess I stand corrected. Looks like one of those words that can be misunderstood quite easilly.

DougEdey · 19th Sep 2008, 14:38

It's an indefinite description!

I wouldn't always rely on wiktionary. "Indefinite" means for not definite, i.e. in this case the delay is for a time which has not been defined. It could turn out to be forever, or it could mean a delay of a week. All it means is "we've delayed the release, but we're not telling you how long it is delayed."

Well, this way I will have time to play through Fallout 3 two or three times before this comes out, so it's not that terrible.

However, still...

DAMN YOUR EYES, EA!

What makes the PC version "superior" beyond blatant PC fanboyism?

Graphics, Mods, versatility, more control options (M/k or gamepad), better online capabilities. you can play how you want to. You can custoomize the experience to your liking on PC.
